SHORTLISTED: WOMEN IN THE SHADOWS OF THE SUPREME COURT, with H. Johnson (New York University Press 2020) Select Reviews “This fascinating book reconstructs a chapter of women’s history that has been hiding in plain sight: the numerous qualified women whose names were floated for the Supreme Court but who never got there. Just as they were overlooked, so have their individual stories, until now.” — Linda Greenhouse, New York Times contributing columnist “Stunningly original in its focus and its careful research, Shortlisted is beautifully written and an important addition to the literature about the Supreme Court, the process of nominating justices, and the role of gender in American law.” — Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law “This is a major contribution to the story of women lawyers.” — The Honorable Nancy Gertner, United States District Court Judge (Ret.) and Senior Lecturer, Harvard Law School “Shortlisted tells the political and personal sagas of women publicly considered for appointment to the Supreme Court but never actually nominated by a president... With fresh research, the authors effectively humanize the women who never received the nominations they deserved.” — Kirkus Reviews “An excellent contribution...and essential for anyone who values diversity.” — Library Journal “A perfect read … for anyone hoping to learn from our history about how to brighten our future through systemic change that truly accounts for the diversity that the American populous represents. … While many scholarly works leave us yearning for more, Shortlisted follows through on its promise to provide practical advice for change.” — Law & Politics Book Review 2.

  • The Unpopularity of Property Law Modules: Popular Culture Offers Solutions
    Athens Journal of Law - Volume 5, Issue 3 – Pages 241-254 The Unpopularity of Property Law Modules: Popular Culture offers Solutions * By Anna Chronopoulou The commodification of Legal Education and the popularity of law as a subject of study have been reflected in a plethora of law courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels on offer in the English Universities. Property Law modules do not necessarily enjoy the same degree of popularity to other modules on a qualifying law degree in English Universities. Despite being slowly changing modules, Property Law modules did not remain unaffected by the commodification of legal education. As a result, Property Law became highly specialised. This quickly translated in optional modules such as: Succession Law, Housing Law, Landlord and Tenant Law, Construction Law etc. Nevertheless, Property Law modules remain highly unpopular among the student population in the English Universities. This paper examines the reasons for this by focusing on three parameters. The first parameter examines the nature of the subject itself as highly technical, therefore less adventurous and attractive. The second parameter brings forward the suggestion that neither legal educators nor researchers have actually successfully managed to break away from the monotony of Property Law subjects. The third parameter proposes solutions to the increasing unpopularity of these subjects. It puts forward the suggestion that a socio-legal approach to the subjects combined with appealing forms of popular culture might just increase the popularity of the subjects among the student population. Keywords: Legal Education, Property Law modules, Popular Culture Introduction Legal education has experienced a number of transformations in England and Wales over the last decades.
